What is Druid Woods?

Druid Woods is a residential development in the Sneyd Park / Stoke Bishop area of Bristol. The site consists of several apartment buildings situated within communal woodland and landscaped grounds. The land also includes shared recreational facilities used by residents and authorised users.

The main facilities at Druid Woods include an indoor heated swimming pool, squash court, gym, and sun terrace. The site also contains supporting infrastructure such as changing rooms, plant equipment for pool filtration and heating, building services, access paths, and landscaped grounds.

What do the Trustees do?

The land, buildings, and communal amenities are held and managed under a trust structure. Trustees are responsible for overseeing these shared assets on behalf of those who benefit from them.

The primary objective of a trustee is to ensure that the land and facilities are maintained, operated, and protected in accordance with the trust’s purpose. This includes oversight of maintenance and repairs to buildings, recreational facilities, and mechanical systems such as pool filtration, heating, and other plant equipment.

Trustees are also responsible for oversight of the woodland and landscaped grounds, including maintenance, safety, and environmental management where necessary.

What is the role?

The role includes governance responsibilities. Trustees review and approve maintenance work, appoint contractors or service providers where required, and oversee budgets associated with the upkeep of the site. They also ensure that facilities are operated in accordance with relevant safety standards and regulatory requirements.

Trustees act collectively when making decisions relating to the management and maintenance of the site, as stewardship of the land, buildings, and shared amenities.
